    Description

    The Dollar Medium : Oil, Acrylic on Canvas Size : 60.0 x 60.0 cm By using common images that everyone is familiar with as motifs, the artist sends the message that art is not something special for a limited group of people, but is accessible to everyone. Another expression of Pop Art is the use of the word "pop" in the name of "pop art". As another expression of Pop Art, Taro's works are reminiscent of the refrain of American Pop Art of the 80s and 90s. These works are rooted in Taro's childhood longing for America and the impact of his stays in Hawaii, New York, and Los Angeles, as well as the various scenes he saw there. Pop art examines the state of consumption and mass culture in contemporary society by incorporating everyday images that are consumed as symbols. In this age of mass production and mass consumption, people are surrounded by a variety of products and information, forming identities and values as expressions closely related to the rapidly developing consumer society. The repetition of symbols is intended to obscure their meanings, encourage new interpretations, and provoke thought about human existence in contemporary society. The incorporation of symbolic motifs of the state and commercialism ironically expresses the power structure and commercialism of contemporary society, as well as human desires in a consumer society. By using popular images that are recognizable to all as motifs, the exhibition provides a broad entry point for understanding and exploring art, which can be difficult, especially in Japan.

    Concept

    Taro Yakumo presents works that recall the refrains of 1980s and 1990s American pop art, offering an alternative expression of pop art. His art delves into the nature of consumption and mass culture. In an era of mass production and consumption, individuals are surrounded by an abundance of products and information, and their identities and values are shaped by their intimate relationship with this rapidly evolving consumer society.

    In today's society, where information and images are overwhelming, Yakumo Taro aims to create new visual experiences. Through social commentary, political messages, playfulness, and humor, he offers a comical perspective that prompts us to contemplate human existence.

    Furthermore, by incorporating motifs that symbolize nations and commercialism, his works satirize power structures, the nature of commercialism, and human desires within consumer society.
